Valencia fights Elche at home in a bid to reach the La Liga top (19:45 UK time).
Elche's Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero serves as the venue for today's home team fixture against guests Valencia (19:45 UK time). The teams met twice last year at Valencia's court, both fixtures ending with a Valencia win, but the last time Valencia visited Elche last season they were beaten 2-1.
Valencia's Advantage
Valencia is one of the top four teams in the La Liga this season, currently positioned third in the table with 57 points, 7 away from Real Madrid and 8 from Barcelona. They have Atletico Madrid breathing down their necks with 56 points, but the Madrid team failed to win in its last three games, while Valencia beat Deportivo 2-0 last week.
Valencia is coming with great momentum after last week's win which completes 5 victories in their last 6 matches – in total they have 17 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses. To add to that, the team sports a strong defense, as the goal difference shows that they've sustained only 22, only table leaders Barcelona precede them with 16 goals against. Valencia is the clear favorite for the game – look for Jonas, Alcacer and Feghouli for goalscorer bets.
Elche's Odds
Elche is in a much tighter position and they're coming to the game after a painful 3-0 away loss against Sevilla last week. The team is positioned 15 in the table with 27 points (7w, 6d, 14l). Elche have 48 goals against, showing their weak defensive qualities which will be tested and are prone to fail against Valencia's lively squad. The head-to-head statistics between these teams show that Valencia is the team with the upper hand - it's hard to see Elche not losing this game.
